KOBE'S HISTORIC 61 AT THE GARDEN

Kobe Bryant from start of the game was looking to score. He had 24 points in the first quarter and went 13 for 20 through two quarters. At the half he had 34 pts. He hit his first three shots and started to look like the old Kobe. Andrew going down to me park this performance. Not a lot to be said the Knicks tried everyone they could to stop Kobe but they couldn't. Everyone was applauding the 61 point outburst. He also went 20 for 20 of the free throw line. You can thank some of his team mates who gave him the ball in great positions to score too.

THE CELTICS ARE GOING FOR ANOTHER HUGE WINNING STREAK

After the Celtics won 27 out of 29 games they fell in a little bit of a slump and won only 2 of 7 in their last 9 games. But since then they have victimized every team they played. Beaten the last ten teams by an average of sixteen points. During the streak Eddie House off the bench has scored 20 or more points three times, Rajon Rondo has been improving on his jump shot, Ray Allen is punishing teams with his efficient shooting 50% from the court, 41% from the 3 pt. line, and 93 % from the free throw line, and Paul Pierce has had good games himself leading the team with 19 points per game. It seems like him and Ray Allen take turns on who scores the most. when ever Paul has the hot hand Ray doesn't score as much and when Ray's scoring Paul only has about 10 to 18 points. On of the best post players Kevin Garnett has had great moves like when he spinned on Dirk and dunk it in his face or his version of the fade away. He's one of the best defenders in the league he's not scoring to much but who needs to when you got Ray and Paul on your team. Doc Rivers has his team on pace for another championship winning season but for right now they regained the best record in the NBA that's always good.

ARE THE ORLANDO MAGIC GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP

Just named to the All Star team Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson along with Dwight Howard who had the most votes in the history of the All Star game. Thursday night they Magic went against the Cavaliers. In the first half the Cavaliers were hitting shots and the Magic's three pointers weren't fallen only five in the first two quarters. The Cavaliers had a unexpected boost from Wally Szczerbiak with 14 points off the bench. Lebron had two amazing dunks in the beginning of the game but as the game went on everything was jump shots for him.It was a tale of two halves Lebron was held to just 10 for 27 including missing 11 of his last 14 shots for just 23 points. Jameer was making all doubters look foolish for not thinking he's an All Star making two big three pointers in the mix of the Magic's run.Save the best for last the young Dwight Howard when he was a rookie all he could do was dunk and rebound. Now he is showing nice spin moves, footwork, hook shots, and running hook shots. They look similar to the Magic of the 90's but they lost two crucial games against the Celtics. If the Celtics win one more time they win the tie breaker and they are almost unbeatable in Boston. The Magic are a high offensive team and if they are going to make it all the way they have to make teams work harder like they did against a great Laker team to sweep the season series

EDDIE HOUSE IS THE CELTICS BENCH

You may be uncertain about who Eddie House is. He's a player that can shoot the lights out with his nice quick release especially from the 3 pt. line in his last 7 games he's averaging 14.4 points and 27 for 43 from the 3 pt. line. That's more production than the whole bench produces sometimes. Eddie has stepped his game up. Now it's time for the rest to follow. When he enters the game, he is instant offense. The opposing teams continue to leave him open, and he almost always makes them pay.

NATE ROBINSON AND THE KNICKS PROTECT THE GARDEN

Nate Robinson scored 2o points in the 4th quarter and 24 for the game. Flip Murray a key bench player for the Hawks was dominating the match up against the 5 foot 9 Nate Robinson but Nate's competitive side showed when he started to catch fire. He scored from a variety of ways, 2 for 5 from the 3 pt. line , and 8 for 15 from the court. He displayed how much of a hard worker he is when he dived on the floor for a loose ball even though the Knicks were up by a big margin in the 4 quarter.

IS MO WILLIAMS THE REAL ANSWER FOR CLEVELAND AND NOT LEBRON

Mo Williams is the Pau Gasol of the Lakers. Since he has played with the Cavs they have won a lot more games. The Cavs have never lost back to back games this season. Last night against the Kings Mo Williams scored 43 points 15 for 24 from the court including 7 for 12 from the 3 pt. line and 6 for 6 from the free throw line. It was the Mo Williams show in my opinion he's a better shooter than Lebron. If he had the chance to shoot as frequently in every game he would put up similar numbers all the time .

ALL STAR RESERVES

The starting line ups for both the West and the East have been announced. The bench for the Western Conference should be Tracy McGrady, Dirk Nowitzki, Chauncey Billups, Brandon Roy, Lamarcus Aldridge, Deron Williams, Tony Parker, and Shaquille O'Neal. The bench for the Eastern
Conference should be Danny Granger , Joe Johnson, Devin Harris, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Jameer Nelson, Chris Bosh, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. That is my All-Star reserves. What is yours ?

LEBRON JAMES FINALLY HAS ENOUGH

Many of people have been giving Lebron excuses for not wining a championship but now with Mo Williams they have a elite team. Lebron has come a long and now he is really a leader averaging the second most points in the nba to only Dwayne Wade. The Cavs record is 34 wins and 8 loss well improved from last who are 11 wins from equaling last season total of wins including a very impressive win against the Celtics. Lebron playing on the olympic team help bring defense to the Cavs.

THE CELTICS STILL HAVEN'T LOST THEIR EDGE

The Celtics destroyed the Mavericks from srart to finish. Ray Allen the best shooter in the game was on fire.He scored 20 points at the half and 3 from 3 at the 3pt. line. The Celtics as a team scored 74 point in the first half. KG had 10 of his 23 points in the 3rd quarter. KG and supporting cast helped limit Dirk Nowitzki to 4 from 17 shooting. Paul Pierce got in foul trouble so he did'nt have an impact on the game but the Celtics bench is finally playing like a championship team. Especially Eddie House scoring 48 total points in his last three games. Their winning streak is now at 8 games.
